Hollywood star Gerard Butler is urging Scots to raise money for charity by taking part in this year's Kiltwalk.

The 300 actor has recorded a video message with Ross King, LA Correspondent for ITV, calling on people to sign up for the fundraising event. Last year, more than 14,000 Scots took part in the Kiltwalk helping to raise more than £2.5m for more than 780 charities across Scotland.

The Hunter Foundation adds an extra 40per cent to the fundraising, meaning that for every £100 raised by a walker, the individual's chosen charity receives £140.

Paul Cooney, chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland Kiltwalk, said: "We're thrilled that the Kiltwalk excitement has spread to Hollywood once again! We would like to say a huge thanks to the proud Scots Gerry and Ross for being so vocal with their support.

"We want the 2018 Kiltwalk to be bigger than ever before, raising even more money for Scotland's charities.

This year's Kiltwalks are in Glasgow on 29 April, Aberdeen on 3 June, St Andrews to Dundee on 19 August and Edinburgh on 16 September.
